Vitaprost is a medicine containing prostate extract and water-soluble peptides. Prostate extract is a concentrated substance obtained from the prostate glands of animals, often pigs. This extract contains biologically active substances that may affect prostate function.

Peptides are small protein fragments that can have different biological properties and functions in the body.

Vitaprost can be presented in various forms, such as tablets, capsules or injection solutions. It is usually taken orally, but the form and dosage may vary depending on the doctor's recommendations and the nature of the disease.
